Earlier this week, Teen Mom OG star Tyler Baltierra shared a poem about his heartbreaking suicide try. It should have taken a lot of braveness for him to share such an intimate piece of self-expression.

Unfortunately, some individuals had the nerve to make use of this chance to recommend that he and Catelynn should not be allowed to be dad and mom due to their psychological well being.

Tyler took to Twitter to clap again towards this very harmful line of pondering.

One Twitter consumer, an Instagram mannequin whose declare to fame is having been on Bad Girls Club, determined to ask a not-so-innocent query about Tyler and Catelynn.

“Sad that him and his wife are struggling with depression and bi polar disorder,” Danielle says.

Unfortunately, she didn’t cease there.

Tyler and Catelynn have her sympathies, “but is that really a healthy environment for a child to grow up in?” she asks.

She additionally does that factor that some individuals do after they have a first rate following on social media and would reasonably be capable of say that they’re “starting a conversation” than voicing an opinion.

“[I don’t know,] thoughts people?” she asks, as if her total tweet have been simply an innocuous query about Catelynn’s coiffure.

Tyler noticed this and, very understandably, felt the necessity to converse out.

“So everyone who has a mental health issue shouldn’t be allowed to have children?” he tweeted.

You can actually really feel his righteous indignation.

Tyler continued, describing parenting as attending to “experience the most beautiful thing this life can give you.”

Not everybody will essentially agree that parenting, with its many ups and downs, qualifies for that lofty superlative … however we’ll let it slide for the second.

“It’s the same,” Tyler continues. “As telling someone who has diabetes or any manageable condition, that they shouldn’t have kids.”

Sadly, individuals have in all probability made arguments alongside these traces, too. No, wait, individuals have positively made arguments alongside these traces. And it is horrifying.

Tyler was not the one one who strenuously objects to the notion that individuals being handled for his or her psychological well being are disqualified from being dad and mom.

One Twitter consumer replied to the unique tweet: “Wow really?? I have anxiety and manic depression as well! I’ve raised two healthy sons to adulthood! Shame on you for that statement! I’ve had this since age 20! I’m 44 now!”

Yep!

“This is the problem with most people,” one other particular person tweeted. “If they have never experienced it they can’t understand. I’m raising 3 children while I suffer from anxiety. I’m a GREAT mom and they are very well taken care of! I am on medication and I take care of myself so I can take care of them!”

Many psychological diseases are completely treatable. If you argue that somebody’s melancholy makes them a dangerous dad or mum, you sound like a sleezy divorce lawyer.

Another tweets: “Were you not just begging twitter to pay your rent a few months ago? Worry about yourself & not the mental health of others.. btw Tyler is a WONDERFUL dad.”

Others merely could not consider this lady’s audacity to ask the query.

“Why in 2018 is mental health still being stigmatised?!” one other tweeter asks. “Why should people feel ashamed for having an illness that is out with their control?! This needs to STOP!”

Another determined that Danielle wanted a little extra roasting.

This particular person tweeted: “At least their kids can look back and see that their parents had positive impact in life and on tv. What are your kids gna see when they google your name? Bad girls clubs clips bahaha now thats sad.”

People who stay in glass homes should not throw shade.

Others, nevertheless, defended the query … form of.

“I don’t think it’s a bad question,” one other fan tweeted. “You have to truly understand that some are completely unaware of how it feels to live with a mental illness. Educate those whom do not understand.”

That’s a good level, actually — generally, individuals need to ask inquiries to study. Even if these questions have horrifying implications.

Speaking of horrifying ideas, nevertheless, some individuals went above and past when agreeing with Danielle’s query.

One particular person tweeted: “Selective breeding, we do it with animals, why not humans…only way to stabilize society and weed out illness.”

Obviously, if somebody is a dangerous dad or mum, both abusive or neglectful or in any other case unable to present their baby love and assist, the kid wants a higher house the place they are often protected and wholesome.

But psychological sickness — along with being treatable — doesn’t disqualify somebody from being an incredible dad or mum. It’s simply a factor that they need to cope with.

In reality, that private battle could make them extra empathetic to a kid’s potential struggles.

In the imply time, the world has no scarcity of actually terrible dad and mom who have no psychological sickness. Being a horrible particular person is a character trait, not an ailment.

Good for Tyler for sticking up for himself, his spouse, and for each different dad or mum with psychological well being struggles.
